Here I am, another “graduate” of the TTS Code Immersion course (Part-time, of course!). I still cannot believe it myself, but I can assure you my time and effort put into this course was well worth it and a blast to endure (even though it was stressful!). I have taken much away from this experience, […]

Personally I hate the term ‘millennials’ to describe young adults because of the negative connotation associated with it, but I do empathize with some of the sentiments of the lost generation. Especially the whole waking up before noon thing (sadly not joking). One of my greatest fears is wasting my life away in a boring […]

I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up: a writer. I achieved that goal and am currently a communications director. This means that on a daily basis, I mainly write, edit, write, edit, write, edit and write some more. When my boss informed me he wanted me to take a web […]

Beginning again is never that easy, especially the older I get. But there are times in each of our lives when we are faced with a challenge that causes us to do just that, begin again. In my case, that meant making an extreme pivot from my life of relative simplicity centered on family and […]

I consider myself an archaeologist. Every summer for the last four years I’ve gone to work at a series of archeological sites around the Mediterranean (Samothrace, GR; Selinunte, IT; Thebes, GR; Vjose River Valley, AL). During that time I’ve been a graduate student in the Art History department at Emory University focusing on ancient Greek […]

Men have walked on the Moon. Dreams are extremely important, for without them, that statement would not a true one. Every man, child, and woman has a dream (or dreams if you’re fancy), whether it is to graduate from high school and make it to college, buy a home, or gain the skills to rule […]

I like to shop, but when I make massive purchases or investments, I’ve learned to always do my homework–and this was especially true for code schools, because I had no connections to the tech world. I did a lot of research on Tech Talent South before I decided to learn to code there. Honestly, none […]
